Dislocated Duck Brood

The Duck with the dislocated wing is doing a great job caring for her brood of 6. She has just recently shed her main flight feathers but is ever watchful for predators.

One of her brood is only half the size of the others and has to make sure it gets it's share of the food by getting literally stuck in there !Meanwhile the duckling with the broken leg is getting on with life in the bathtub, after only 11 days care it's doing well.

WE ARE CUSTODIANS OF THE PLANET AND HAVE A DUTY TO CARE FOR IT.
For the past 14 years I've had the privilege of watching and caring for the resident Swans on our local river estuary. I have been charmed and fascinated by their parental skills and beauty in the water, they are Simply Superb Swans.
